Real Madrid faithful want Silva and Falcao

The Real Madrid members are in no doubt as to which players Florentino Pérez should splash out for this summer: David Silva and Falcao. The Canary Island-born midfielder and 'El Tigre' are the big winners in the poll carried out by Sigma 2 for MARCA and the only players to get the thumbs up from more than 50% of the respondents.

Silva was previously the top target amongst the Madrid faithful in March 2010, when 63.8% backed his signing. This time around, he is almost 13 percentage points up on the mark from three years ago: 76.7% of 'Los Blancos' members would now welcome the Manchester City playmaker, who earned a standing ovation in the Champions League clash at the Bernabéu.

This is the highest approval rating a player has ever received in these polls. The percentage of members who covet Silva rises to 80.6% amongst respondents aged 30-44 and to 82.1% amongst those who have held their season ticket for fewer than five years.

After Silva, 'El Tigre' is the player the Madrid members most want to sink their teeth into. Seven out of ten members (70.7%) would swoop for the Atlético striker, who has a ¤60 million release clause, in time for next season.

The third most sought-after player amongst the 'Los Blancos' members, and without a doubt the surprise name on the list, is Málaga midfielder Isco. Despite being a lower-profile candidate and not yet having a full international cap to his name, 48.2% of Madrid season ticket holders would back him joining in the summer.
